Livonia tailback Austin White committed to Michigan today over Michigan State. Had he committed to Michigan State, there would be 10 articles in various publications telling you about how Michigan State is winning the recruiting war and Dantonio is a living genius.

But my friends tell me I should stop worrying about what everybody else thinks...so while I stand by the adage that perception is reality, this is one hell of a pick up for a class that is shaping up to be one of our best ever.

But hey, at least you won't have to run to the line of scrimmage, right Kurt? And you won't have to worry about what round you are going to be drafted in either.
